Making sense of youth-led social action with, and for, young people from refugee backgrounds
Within Western resettlement countries, leisure has been positioned as a tool for achieving top-down policy goals. Yet, minimal attention has been directed towards understanding how young-forced migrants make sense of and experience leisure within the daily physically, psychologically and socially repressive regulations and processes of the UK asylum system. This novel paper examines how young people from refugee backgrounds engage in and make sen…

A Framework for Enabling Evidence-based Practice in Allied Health
